Introduction to Memoir Writing

There are currently no sections open for enrollment.

X6 (3 semester units in English)

An elective in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Writing

The notion that everyone has a distinct and compelling story to tell is the essence of memoir. Through reading and writing exercises, explore the shifting landscape of memory and the creative license that it affords you on the page. Examine why the concepts of truth and nonfiction can sometimes seem at odds, and learn to reconcile the two. The assigned writing exercises build toward a 15- to 20-page memoir.

Note: This online writing course will be offered every summer term.
